We were at the Tamaraw guesthouse before we moved into Mary's Cottages. Tamaraw is absolutely filthy and had plenty of cochroaches. Very noisy staff and they do not clean the room. We thought Mary's Cottages are nice and quiet. Its very basic, but clean. Nice thing about it, its very close to the beach and very cozy. For the price... More

I hate giving bad reviews but I just have to for this place. I am used to basic accommodation but this place was the worst on the beach! The location is great but thats about it. First of all they had lost our key so we could not get into our place for over 2 hours. They then broke the... More

Hi, well, I was stolen 900 USD from my moneybelt within my backpack from my hut while I went for a swim of an hour or so, having the hut in sight most of the time. There can't have been a lot of people taking just the big nots out of it, leaving the small and the credit cards.... For... More

We stayed here with our 2 kids (2 and 4) the huts look ok (ish). We looked at all the accomodation from the pier to Marys and it appears to all be very basic accom at cheap prices with the exception of one or 2 massive expensive hotels. Marys was cheap to be fair but the bamboo hut was dusty,... More

There's only electricity between 18.38 and 22.38. The cottages at the beachfront are small and very basic. We paid 600 pesos. The bigger cottages will cost you 800 pesos a night and have brandnew bathrooms. Mosquito nets are provided, we saw surprisingly few bugs though. All cottages have a porch with wooden benches and a table. The staff is friendly... More

We loved the look of these cottages! Small huts right on the beach was exactly what we were looking for on our holiday in Sabang. The owners are so lovely, and all of the staff are extremely helpful. The cottages are very basic, but that's to be expected for the price. The cottages are cold water only, and have electricity... More

We took a family trip March 2011. This is the best time to travel to Sabang because the current in the surf is mild (other times of year it is much stronger - esp December towards the center of the 300 meter beach front.) Mary's cottages are very rustic, run down and the caretaker does not seem to "care" very... More

We stayed there for 4 days, and we liked the place very much, but the smell of humidity, mold from the bathroom was unbearable. There were 3 cm long fungus growing in the bathroom. It's a pity because the place is really nice, at the end of a long white sand beach, a little bit apart, quite and cheap, we... More

What a dump, cockroach and ant infested, the cottages are rotten and they shake like they are about to collapse as you move about inside. The cottage we had only had one working lightbulb and lots of defunct wiring draped about. Electrical hazard. No maintenance has been done for years, the manager/owner is very negligent, I don't understand how the... More
